CARD PUNCH
CARD CHECKING
After the synchronizer has received all of the data from a card, the number of memory accesses is checked to verify tha t an en tire card image has been transferred.
The hole count determined when the card is check-read is compared with the hole count which should have been punched. A modulo-3 check also is made on each word as it is transferred from memory. If any of these checks detects an error, a program-testable indicator is set, and an input-output interrupt occurs.

EXECUTION CYCLE
Punch-unit operations, which occur during a card cycle, are performed under program control. A typical card cycle, which includes the setting of program-testable indicators, is illustrated in figure 5-5. Each cycle consists of the following concurrent events:
The picker knife moves the bottom card in the input magazine to wait station 1;
The card placed at wait station 1 during the previous card cycle is transported to wait station 2;
The card placed at wait station 2 during the previous
The card passing through the continuously moving rollers of the stacker-selection station is committed to one of the output stackers according to the program.
The card cycle is initiated by an IOF instruction, which transfers an FS to the standby location for the Card-Punch Unit, and sets the standby-location interlock indicator for the punch unit. The Central Processor continues with its next instruction. When the punch synchronizer becomes available after completing a card cycle at point A, it tests the standby indicator. If the indicator is found to be set, the FS in the standby location is automatically transferred to the synchronizer for execution, and the standby indicator is reset. When this occurs and input-output interrupt is specified, the initiation indicator is set and program interrupt occurs. A pro-gram interrupt also occurs if there is an error associ-ated with the accessing of an FS; this error sets the fault indicator. If input-output interrupt is specified and an error occurs when the FS is read from memory
START detected, interrupt will occur at point D. Therefore, the program time available to segregate the card desired, all input-output interrupts may be pre-vented by using the PIO instruction.
The following list is a summary of Card-Punch-Unit specifications:

CARD-PUNCH UNIT Function Specifications
• FUNCTION SPECIFICATIONS
To perform a programmed card operation, the punch requires an initiate-input-output-function (IOF) in-struction and a function specification (FS).
The channel-designation bits of the IOF must refer to the particular general-purpose channel assigned to the Card-Punch Unit. Details of the punch opera-tion are specified in the FS, which has the following
Bit 19 ... Controls stacker selection of card at stacker-selection station - selects stacker 1 if it is a I-bit, stacker 0 if a O-bit (see figure 5-1).
Bit 18 ... Controls translation-if it is a I-bit, the card image from memory is translated and punched; if a O-bit, the image will be punched without translation (see figure 5-1).
Bit 17 ... Controls card feeding-if it is a this interrupt will not occur.
L-Address ... The initial memory location of the first data word to be transferred.
Bits 1 through 6 all must be O's, so that the first word transferred to the punch is taken from a memory location which is a multiple of 64.
The individual function codes with their mnemonics are described under the headings which follow. In and advance all cards in the card-feed path one station;
punch one card without translation and move it to the post-punch station; check-read the card that was at the post-punch station; and deposit the card at the check-read station in stacker

Function codes for punch operations together with their mnemonic codes, are summarized in table 5-3.
Table 5-3. Summary of Function Codes
• INTERRUPT INDICATORS
The program-testable interrupt indicators and their mnemonic-code designations for the Card-Punch Unit are as follows:
The specific conditions which set these indicators are summarized in table 5-4.
INITIATION
The initiation indicator is set if input-output inter-rupt is specified when the punch synchronizer cycle. Cards with errors are segregated automatically
by the punch routine.
The synchronizer is inhibited from accessing memory while the data-error indicator is set.
FAULT
CARD-PUNCH UNIT Interrupt Indicators Control Features
When the unit is on-line, the fault indicator is set for circumstances which require corrective action by the operator or maintenance personnel. It is set only if the standby-location interlock indicator is set or if cards are present in the card path.
The synchronizer does not access memory until the fault is corrected, the ABNORMAL CLEAR button-light on the punch control panel (table 5-5) is pressed, and the fault indicator is reset. If a data error occurs during the same card cycle as a fault, only the fault indicator is set. If an operator over-sight occurs during the same cycle as a fault, the indicator associated with the condition which first occurs will be set.
OPERATOR OVERSIGHT
When the unit is on-line, the operator-oversight indicator is set as a result of conditions which require minor operator in~ervention. It is set only if the standby-location interlock indicator is set or if cards are present in the card path. The punch synchronizer cannot access memory until the condition is cor-rected, the ABNORMAL CLEAR button-light on the punch control panel is pressed, and the operator-oversight indicator is reset.
If a data error occurs during the same cycle as an oversight condition, only the operator-oversight indicator is set.
H all three conditions (data error, f~ult, and operator oversight) occur during the same card cycle, the indicator associated with the condition which first occurs will be set.
• CONTROL FEATURES
Each Card-Punch Unit in the UNIVAC III System has a control panel which contains two rows of con-trols as shown in figure 5-6. The upper row contains lights which indicate abnormal conditions in the punch unit; the lower row contains buttons which are used to control punch operations. The function of the buttons and lights is described in table 5-5.
